BPI-R4 info for SFP WAN options

Banana Pi Router design BPI-R4(MT7988)
1

Hello,

I’ve recently received my R4 board and set it up, using the current openwrt snapshot running on a SD. The only missing item is WAN running over SFP, my ISP uses a technicolor AFM0002 as ONT but, if i set it in the sfp wan port, i only get a single notification in dmesg that the sfp port is providing 3W and nothing else. If i set the ONT in a gigabit media converter, the status indicator shows that the link goes up after roughly a minute so i would guess there is some shenanigans that aren’t supported on the openwrt build or the bpi. My ISP doesn’t support that part anymore so if i change plan I’m getting an external ONT if I like it or not anyway, so is there a forum favorite part to get copper 2.5/5/10 speeds on SFP+?

There are few threads where after reading posts, you will get an answer. From my side, two days ago I received SFP+ module based on RTL8261 (you can buy it on Ali here - it is module for 30m, the module for 80m is based on Broadcom). After short time, I can recommend, but for sure on that forum or on OpenWRT forum you will get better answer.

Hi there, since I didn’t found any response searching the forums at the time I went for this 10GBASE-T SFP+ Transceiver 30 metres, SFP+ a RJ45, 10G SFP+ a Ethernet Modulo Compatibile con Cisco SFP-10G-T-S, Netgear AXM765, MA-SFP-10GB-T, Ubiquiti UniFi UF-RJ45-10G, Mikrotik S+RJ10... : Amazon.it: Commercio, Industria e Scienza which is aquantia based so it works a treat with the standard openwrt images from firmware.openwrt.
